Book Review of TREASURE ISLAND

TREASURE ISLAND
reviewed on + 232 more book reviews


First published in 1883, RLS transformed the Victorian adventure into a classic of its own genre.

A book for every one of us who ever longed for romance, treasure & adventure...

A sunning yarn of piracy on the firey tropic high seas - a tale of teachery embroiing a host of legendary swashbucklers. It is also a complex study of good & evil & all the merry unscrupulous buccaneer rogues whose greedy quest for gold will win the hearts of those who wish we could join them.

Now, I wonder who inspired Pirates of the Carribbean?
